Baptismal font is a major element in the internal architecture of great Romanesque Church. More commonly called \u201ca stoup\u201d its purpose was to contain the holy water for the baptism.<\/p>\n

Formerly, it took place on the baptistery where a few catechumen came the same day to receive the benediction. Over the years, the custom to bless the newborn babies spreads.<\/p>\n

From the 11th century, Baptismal font takes place in every church, and the date of\u00a0 <\/span>celebration is not restrained to the three special days – Easter, Pentcost and Chrismas day – like before. Consequently, Baptismal font tended to become smaller in size.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The white granit polygonal basin is carved in high relief. It creates a certain play with light, emphasizing the contrasts between bright and shadow. The outer surface is adorned with ornaments in regular order and fluid forms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
